The national chain also revealed Friday its plans to pilot seven new smaller format Kohl’s stores nationwide and open 12 Fila outlet stores, marking Kohl’s first entry into the outlet space, according to a statement.

Store officials said “eligible store associate will be offered the opportunity to work at a nearby Kohl’s or, if they choose, can accept a competitive severance package,” according to the release.

On average, each Kohl’s store employs approximately 80 to 100 associates, officials said.
